There is some work left before the start. The gearbox is now complete. Need to get the clutch from the ATC. So the engine and gearbox can be put back in place. When it is in place. Can I begin to draw the water pipes, gas pipes and oil pipes. Installing my two 3 "magna flow muflers. And hook up motor Electrical. Then it will start about 2-3 weeks shown all goes according to plan. :-)

Thanks :-)It was a wonderful feeling when it started without a single problem :-) A good motivation to get the car 100% ready for spring next year. Burnout video coming soon. I have some 265/35-18 tires to be burned off. Just need to get the car a bit more screwed together :-)

New video;-)

That is so awesome, congrats! You'll have plenty of suspension stuff to work out, but at least it's driveable now!

Might I suggest some sort of air inlet on the leading edge of the rear fenders to break up the width? They will be so fat looking when it is done, maybe you can utilize the opening for your intercooler?
